Any F unit is better than none! Date: 04/27/16 09:10 Re: Shall We Chase? - CR 1734 Author: thebluecomet Reminded me of a lucky stop in Collinwood in the last days of Penn Central. Operator in QD invited me up. Crew on an e/b empty hopper train with 3 F's wanted yarding instructions and said ' hey kid, want a ride?' Sure! Got in the second unit with no idea where I would end up, but off I went. Train didn't fit where they wanted it so I ended up right back where I started. Some days ya just kinda step in it :)
